  1. Customer what?! on Has My Cell Number Been Cloned? · · Score: 1

    T-mobile has the best customer service?! Is that why it took me over 3 months to get my parents number ported over, and it would have taken longer if I hadn't taken over and got in their face. They had the worst customer service towards me, several hangups and hundreds of transfers later, I finally got the numbers ported over, then the bill was never right, so I finally had them switch over to Cingular to shich I have had very little problems.

    I've had very little trouble at all removing Mcrappy from any of my new dell workstations... without ever going into safe mode. took me no more than 5 minutes per pc to get rid of it.

  3. Re:Advertising... on Is Insteon Better than X10 for Home Automation? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, with Insteon, you don't have to give up your X10 equiptment. Acording to Insteon's web site, it is X10 ready. http://www.insteon.net/%5Caboutinsteon.html/ "The INSTEON technology allows manufacturers to develop products that are both INSTEON-compatible and X10-ready. Homeowners with existing X10 networks can easily migrate to an INSTEON network without having to discard all their existing X10 devices. Please note that INSTEON devices repeat INSTEON signals and not X10."

  5. Re:SuSE is great but... on A Closer Look at SUSE 10 · · Score: 1

    you are right, but then again most things don't work right out of the box in windows either. I was just meerly giving my experiences that I had. Windows has the dominant market, developers are more inclined to work on windows drivers first, because they know where the $ comes from. They leave the linux drivers for the liunx developers out here that want to do it.

    Since you didn't give me the exact model number of your wireless card, I searched google and figured it was the BCM94318 series from broadcom. the same one that acer puts in their ferrari notebooks. follow this like to find the driver what should be compatable with your AirForce One. Oh and yes, it is the 64 bit version.

    I have the HP ZV6000, I had no problems getting my broadcom B/G with bluetooth working all it needed was ndiswrapper and the windows driver.
    More than likely, your laptop has an ATI video card. ATI has linux drivers out here for their video cards but the newer ones just are worthless. I recomend you use a tool called Google, and search for forums... heck, I found a whole website dedicated to my laptop!

    Of corse this had to happen just a few days before OpenSuSe released the latest version 10.0 final. Now I'm assuming that there will be a delay there to make sure nobody added any "extra" software. I've been waiting for it to come out since I tried beta 1 of 10.0.

  13. This is old.... on GSM and Asterisk Integration? · · Score: 1

    When I worked for L3 (Level 3) almost 5 years ago, we had implimented a similial solution that would let your GSM cell phone turn into a local extension on the PBX. Thus allowing to make various calls such as VoIP, internal (calling another extension) and outgoing calls. Granted I never was around the equiptment, so I couldn't tell you what it was, but just the fact that it was available many moons ago.

  17. Re:The economics of this? on Speakeasy Will Test IEEE 802.16 In Downtown Seattle · · Score: 1

    Actually, each tower can handle up to 2500 subscribers, and with the article saying that they have put up 4 seperate towers, thats 10000 subscribers. As for only handling T1 speeds, the WiMax technology can actually pipe up to 4 T-1's per subscriber. The backbone (towers) can handle an OC-768, so you are really not that limited. They will only be starting out with a test group of 60 - 70 businesses. There is no certified WiMax equuiptment, but several companies have released a 'pre' version, that they will hope will meet the IEEE certification, much like companies did with 802.11 back in the day.

    OK, I went a step further, I scoured the internet and found a link to the file that you need.

    I found this on the ipcop website.

    "Some Compaq machines allow the user to select this mode of operation by selecting "Network Server" mode in their setup program. For those that do not have this option, NO_F1.COM is a DOS based program that is run one time which sets a bit in CMOS that instructs the BIOS not to wait for a keystroke after displaying the "Press [F1] to continue" message."

  22. Re:Cisco Support on Blow-by-Blow Account of the OSDN Outage · · Score: 1

    I will confirm this for you. Cisco support is the best ever. True if you have a network down emergency you get top priority, but don't all companies (that really have it together) do this? As for a "nominal" issue, if you call in you don't sit on hold for an hour, you talk to a live person, just not the top support person. As for submitting a web tech question, you usually get a faster responce. If you have further questions feel free to e-mail me and I will explain further.
